NOTHING BESIDE REMAINS — Relief spread throughout Aurum as Dazir confirmed she had not been hurt, glad that the child had remained unharmed. On a lesser level, he was also glad that the Tangler hadn't been killed, but he had really brought that whole mess upon himself. After all, what kind of idiot just went out and got all proud of himself after capturing a child? That alone was enough to make Aurum shake his head, flicking his tail sternly in the direction of the town and watching as the male rushed off. With all of his attention on Dazir, the angel nodded along with Elsweyr's words, rumbling, "I'm glad to hear that you weren't hurt... like Elsweyr said, we'll be able to help you at our town. You'll be safe from any traps, and we can also get you some food, and maybe someone to help watch you around here." The lion was unsure of whether or not Dazir would want to stay within Tanglewood, but if she did, she would need some kind of caretaker to show her the ropes. Even if she didn't stay, having a temporary caretaker to help out before she went on to wherever she wanted would be helpful.
With a turn and a lazy roll of his shoulders, Aurum then followed after Elsweyr, his paws easily and comfortably following after the familiar path. His gaze flicked upwards when they came to the cheetah's home, a bit of an uneasy look upon his face. He wasn't sure how much he approved of Dazir staying there, considering all the bones and the reminder of death it held. Death was a part of life, yes, but one didn't need to shove it in the face of a child. Despite this, both Ares and Salvia seemed fond of Elsweyr's company and guidance, so it wasn't as if her home could be that bad. For now, the lion decided to relent, knowing that it was good for Dazir to have some sort of shelter. Turning back to the young girl, he introduced himself plainly, "I live nearby, in the large two story home over there. My name is Aurum, and I've been here for quite a while, so if you have any questions or are looking for anything, you can feel free to ask." He slipped easily into his usual accommodating role, noticing but not particularly caring. After all, he liked helping others. — OF THE MAN WHO WAS BORN AND DIED A KING.
